Tiny St Philomena

$ 4.99

In 1802, the tomb of a 4th-century teenage girl was discovered with the inscription: Peace be with thee, Philomena. Young Philomena had refused the evil advances of Emperor Diocletian and was killed for it. He tried to have her killed by anchor drowning, then by archers, and then finally succeeded by lancing. Philomena is a patroness of purity.
